Along with dog training, K9 Headquarters breeds, raises, and trains German Shepherd Dogs.

We are extremely selective about our breeding program

We adhere to the German SV system for breeding of German Shepherd Dogs. Before being bred all of our dogs are thoroughly tested to prove their breed worthiness and to enter the breeding program. We train our own dogs in the sport of Schutzhund, giving us a deep and true understanding of our dogs abilities. Not only are our dogs proven , but they are from German bloodlines, with generation upon generation of dogs that went through rigorous testing before being bred. Schutzhund was created in Germany and is still used as a breed test for German Shepherd Dogs. It consists of three phases, Tracking, Obedience, and Protection. By testing our dogs in this fashion it ensures that only the very best dogs are contributing to the gene pool.
